So once that Android runs officially on laptops and desktops, that's it, Linux will finally rule the world, don't you think?

They will probably just work together. No reason to change that.

The only way to dominate the desktop market is to provide gaming support that's equal to or better than Windows. Cause who the fuck else uses Windows except gamers.

Gamers are stuck on windows and will always be. I'm pretty sure google is not after gamers. Mainly because they are mostly kids.

business and enterprise
adobe and CAD stuff
audio
medical equipment

sadly linux is not yet office ready imo.

libreoffice calc < office excel
auto CAD < literally all else
photoshop/ illustrator < GIMP/ inkscape/ krita
and enterprise stuff made by a company for use within usually isn't portred mainly because they never have an immediate need to

You can use mice, keyboards, controllers, and other forms of input with android. I was suggesting that google expand android to other forms of computing, similar to what microsoft is doing with w10.

True tbh

All that google can go after at this point is casual users.

Professional market is so well established on Windows and even OSX at this point that I doubt google can do anything about it.

Also, I don't really see how using android apps on a notebook would be an enjoyable experience at all. Just imagine all the ads and the poorly optimized interface. Not to mention that it probably would make chromeOS slow as fuck.

Looks like windows is actually ahead in something for once.

Let me interject for a moment, but what you refer to as Linux, is actually Google/Linux or as I've recently taken to calling it, Google + Linux
You see mobile Linux is not an operating system unto itself, but rather another component of a fully functioning Google botnet made useful by gapps, bionic, java apis, trackers and backdoors comprising a full OS as defined by the OSI
There is a Linux, and these people are using it, but it's just part of the system they use.

I work at a sign shop and while i want to be a good freetard, i just cant get away from PS, and Gerber Composer is a necessity because of muh Edge. If inkscape would work properly with Mimaki hardware i would use it instead of Flexisign.

It doesn't change my point though. I really do want to use free software as much as possible but proprietary is the only option. I am teaching my self programming in what little free time i have in the hopes of being able to create my own solutions to be able to run the equipment i need to do my job with out proprietary bullshit placing artificial limits on things.

Honestly, I've always wondered why Google maintained two separate OSes in the first place. Too bad, because now ChromeOS will be carrying Android's bullshit baggage.
